[Dwarf-RP] Of Hammers and Hollows

Argent Dawn
1

O, it’s hard and dry, when the sun is high, and dust is in your throat, when the rain pours down, near fit to drown, soaks through your beard and coat,

But the dwarves of Hiddenhold, my lads, stout hearts they walk with me, o’er hill and plain, and back again, to the shores of the wide blue sea,

Through mud and mire to a warm campfire, I’ll trek with ye, old friend, o’er lea and dale in a roaring gale, right to our journey’s end,

Aye, the dwarves of Hiddenhold, my lads, favour friendship, song and gold. We’ll share long days, and tread hard ways, good comrades brave and bold!

A dwarven company of far-flung adventurers, dungeoneers and doughty warriors – led by the indomitable Irontooth, this stout band plumbs the deepest vaults in pursuit of glittering hoards and lost dwarf-lore, and hone their axes against hated foes across countless fields of strife.

Hailing from the cavernous halls of Hiddenhold, an isolated delving in the northern reaches of Khaz Modan, the dwarves of Clan Buringard ever descend in quest of riches and renown, to forge new friendships, and avenge any wrong against their kinsfolk with dour-handed strokes. Despite their clan’s dwindled numbers, the dwarves are compelled by oaths and brotherly bonds to meet even mighty hosts of the Horde head-on with unerring zeal.

Intensely proud of their dwarven heritage and traditions, their artisanry and trade, yet suspicious and protective of their treasures and secrets of smith-craft; no outsider has ever seen the inside of their hidden halls, and few heroes have won Buringard’s favour, wielding their dwarf-forged arms into battle. With war brewing, those stout of heart and stature arise from under hill and high fell to settle the score once again, and call on their fellow dwarves to find new adventure.

Strong is the hammer, deep is the hollow, the path we forge, others will follow!

Friends of Rangers and Knights alike. I can wholeheartedly recommend the company of Thane Irontooth and his merry band of Dwarves. It’s a phenomenal experience being around them and to any looking for danger and good company. This may be the lot for you!

Hold aloft your hammers and swing, and lent your ears to their ring. Brave and bold, we fight for our Hiddenhold. Ere iron is broken and shields tore-- issue forth a fierce dwarven roar!

We’re bound for a perilous path, and there’s plenty stories to be had!

It’s hard as it is to get past a single dwarf’s armor with spiritual tooth and claw.

It’s harder when they’re in a line and yelling at you.

Seems like a pretty cool guild concept, I wish you luck! :100:
Although can’t help but ask about the Hiddenhold bit - is it mostly there somewhere in the background and doesn’t appear in in-game RP OR is it roleplayed in but uses some other in-game location?

Thanks! The clanhold serves primarily as a backdrop to our roleplay, which is mostly on the road, and gives context to some of our stories and adventures, and (I think) helps create the feeling that these dwarves belong to somewhere unique, which brings them closer as a brotherhood; being the sole defenders of this secret place. The lore behind it is something we’ve slowly fleshed out over the years, and continue adding to bit by bit, and unlike many other player-made locations unreachable in-game, Hiddenhold has the virtue of being, well, hidden, so your character isn’t expected to have heard of it, or be able to point it out on a map.

Hail te ye! are you still recruiting i have spoken to dunvil ingame and would love to join if it is possible, i just recently started playing again and looking for a fun casual style rp/pve dwarf guild.

Best thing you can do is catch us IC, so we can get a feel for your character!

The dwarves are currently back in Khaz Modan to recover and grieve for their fallen. Their recent descent into a series of Void-infested dwarven caverns under Alterac (guided by god tier DMs Devind and Rodhír) has left many a dungeoneer haunted by the experience. The tragic expedition culminated with the death of Hiddenhold’s hallowed upholder of tradition; Melm Marblegem, who gave his life in the deeps so save his kin. An intense mourning period is being processed, loss and despair adding fuel to vengeful dwarven zeal as we prepare for coming campaigns!
